Abstract

The molluscicidal activity of different extracts of two species belonging to many families (Nerium oleader and Euphorbia terracina) was evaluated against two types of snails (Melonides tuberculata and Biomphalaria alexandrina) in the agricultural area of Taourghaa region, Libya. The results clearly showed that (The Lc50 – Lc90 for two snails and two plants of ethanol extract between (1.26 and 2143.2 ppm) interference to ethanol extract, also the Lc₅₀and Lc₉₀ for two snails and two plants of acetone extract between (100 and 924.6) ppm.
